Abstract
This article presents the results of a survey conducted in Queensland from 18 July to 2 August 2021, which gave insights on attitudes to human rights in Queensland, the adequacy of Queensland's human rights performance, and the level of knowledge and support for the new Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) ('the Act'). We discuss the results from the survey and their implications for human rights in Queensland and the Act itself. Overall, we found strong support for human rights, limited knowledge but overall optimism about the Act and its likely impact, reasonable but fluctuating confidence in the adequacy of human rights protection in Queensland, and instructive demographic differences in the responses.
